Chapter 152: The Stick of Tragedy
The plane had already flown from Somalia to the military airfield in Tumen, and after saying goodbye to Makara, Xiao Yang got on the plane and headed for Italy.
He didn't understand it very much, because he was the protagonist, or unlucky, always wherever he went, there would be an accident, and as soon as the plane took off and left the territory of the Congo, Mi Qilin sent a message:
"Italy will suffer another attack from IS."
"Can't you?" Xiao Yang looked surprised, what kind of rhythm is this? Is IS crazy? Many countries in the Middle East are fighting with them very happily, and now they are still coming to Europe to play hard.
Besides, how long has it been since the last one?
"The sources are fine, they just can't be sure who they're going to attack."
"Oh, I see." Although Xiao Yang still holds the title of an Italian national security adviser, he is not in charge of everything, and he can tell the Italian side such news, but he can not say it, and even if he does, he does not have to be responsible for providing them with the details of the news.
It's good to receive such news, but can he only find out the people and targets who launched the attack like he did last time?
With the privilege of entry and exit, it is different, the plane arrived in Rome, and no one at the airport said that he wanted to check his visa or anything, and it was very polite to provide them with a hangar and ground support team, responsible for the maintenance of their aircraft.
This time it was Doyle who came to pick him up in person, and Xiao Yang was very surprised when he saw him.
"I didn't expect the busy man to pick me up in person." He did not hide his surprise in the slightest.
Doyle smiled and pointed to the watch in his hand, "It's almost time to get off work, and the two ladies in the family know that you are coming, so they specially asked me to pick you up." ”
In fact, Xiao Yang was a little puzzled by Lu Qi and Catherine's enthusiasm, and when he heard him say this, he could only smile and say nothing.
Turning around and getting into the car, Xiao Yang found that Doyle had changed to a car, knocked on the glass, and said with a smile: "What? Changed cars? ”
Doyle motioned for the driver to drive, then opened the partition before saying, "Many people know my role in the last incident, and changing this car, in your Chinese words, is a rainy day." ”
Xiao Yang really didn't know where this guy knew such a strange idiom, and asked in surprise, "What?" Got started learning Chinese recently? ”
Doyle shook his head, "It's Luki, I heard that when I was passing by." ”
"Oh......"
"By the way, would you like to get one of these cars for you? It's definitely good to be there for you. ”
Suddenly, Doyle said to Xiao Yang.
The car he is now changing to is the LMV, that is, the light multi-purpose tactical protection off-road vehicle used by the Italian army, produced by Iveco, which has performed well on the battlefields of Iraq and Lebanon, but his one is obviously a customized version of the civilian version.
Xiao Yang did have a few Humvees in their warehouse, but this car did not, after listening to Doyle's words, he knocked on the door with his hand, making sure that there was no difference between armor and military ones, and then looked at the luxurious decoration inside, and asked, "How much does this thing cost?" ”
Doyle held up a finger.
"A million euros!" Xiao Yang didn't think what he said was a million lira, he felt that the price was still good compared with the old and beautiful Humvees, the civilian customized version, but the armor was not weakened, but there were fewer military communication facilities, but the luxurious decoration was added, "This price is still okay." ”
Thinking that this thing could usually be used by Zhao Nan, he nodded, "Okay, you can order one for me, and I'll give you the money." ”
Doyle nodded, "The car is fine, the money is not needed, I haven't thanked you for the last incident and Luki's matter, you told me that the money is not appropriate I am a friend." ”
Looking at his serious face, Xiao Yang didn't say anything more, remembering the news that Mi Qilin told him when he was on the plane before, "Just to tell you a piece of news, your country may become the target of IS again, you can report this news." ”
Regardless of the source of the news, Doyle has a relationship with the Italian military and government, as long as the news comes from his mouth, it will be good for him, Xiao Yang is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage, since everyone has sent him a luxury car, he naturally has to find a way to repay it.
Doyle obviously did not expect that after just a few months, they would once again be targeted by IS, with a look of surprise and shock.
However, he quickly regained his composure and looked at Xiao Yang closely, "Do you have more detailed information?" ”
According to Mi Qilin, the attack will not be immediate, so he has not yet decided whether to tell the Italian government the news, so he did not let Mi Qilin check more at all, where is the more detailed information now?
Shaking his head, "It's already taken a lot of effort to get this news, I can't go into more detail, I can only be sure that they are still planning." ”
Hearing that it was just planning, Doyle immediately relaxed a lot, "Well, I know, I'll pass on this news tomorrow, otherwise, our dinner today will be ruined again." ”
“……”
Arriving at Doyle's house, Catherine had already prepared a French meal, which was done by the two mothers and daughters, and Xiao Yang was not too interested in Western food, but she was very interested in the meal made by the two ladies.
Aperitifs, appetizers, main courses, desserts, coffee, everything that can be done by themselves is made by them, just like the aperitif wine, which Catherine taught Luki to brew herself, everything is homemade.
Xiao Yang has always thought that his taste buds can't understand whether Western food is authentic or not, but he has to admit that it is a pleasure to watch the colorful dishes that are served.
After the last coffee, Catherine brought another bottle of red wine, Xiao Yang didn't know much about red wine, but looking at the label on the bottle that had turned slightly yellow, he knew that it would definitely not be bad.
In the garden, several people sat on rattan chairs, leisurely drinking red wine, chatting, Xiao Yang inexplicably thought of Linna and Zhao Nanlai.
Maybe one day, I will be with the two of them in a scene like today?
On this trip, Xiao Yang came with the task given to him by Zhao Qingfeng, not about the sales of the engine, but about a technical parameter of the engine.
Xiao Yang didn't understand the technical issues, but Zhao Qingfeng asked experts to explain them to him in detail, letting him know that this problem involved the integration with the fighter, but it also involved a more important technology of the WS-14 engine.
Under normal circumstances, the Fenmecanica Group would not provide this data, so Xiao Yang came over in person.
He hadn't spoken to Doyle before, but the next morning, he asked to go to work with Doyle, which made Doyle realize that the purpose of Xiao Yang's trip would not be so simple.
When he arrived at the company, he didn't rush to pass on the news that Xiao Yang told him yesterday, but asked Xiao Yang: "Say, is there anything important that you came over this time?" ”
If it were for the partners of the likes of Hamis, Xiao Yang would definitely take a roundabout approach, but for Doyle, he chose to say bluntly, "...... That's it, buyers need this data, and I know it's important technology for yours, so come and talk to you in person. ”
Doyle immediately fell into deep thought.
He knows that the buyer is China, and Xiao Yang's appearance also shows his attitude, although Xiao Yang said that the buyer can pay the price to buy, he has to think about more issues.
WS-140 aero engine, one of the most advanced aero engines, all the patents are in the hands of the group company, these years, not no one has proposed to buy some of these patents, but the company has been rejected, if Xiao Yang is someone else, he does not want to refuse, but now it is Xiao Yang......
"Are you sure that's all there is to it?" After a long time, he looked up and asked Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang nodded, "Sure, it's just this one." ”
"Hmm." Doyle looked at him seriously and said: "You should know that China is a country that is good at learning, and this data involves some other related important technologies, if it is someone else, I will immediately refuse, and now you have raised it, then I will hand this question to our risk assessiers, let them assess the risk of technology loss, if the risk is too great, then I can't do anything." ”
Xiao Yang nodded immediately, he had understood it before he came, and Zhao Qingfeng also told him the difficulty of this matter, Doyle could do this, he knew that this was already the best result.
"Thank you." He said very sincerely.
Doyle waved his hand, "Like you said, we are friends, as the shareholder and CEO of the group, I have to think about the company, and you can understand me." ”
"Of course."
…………
Doyle did regard Xiao Yang as a friend, and while passing the news to the government in the afternoon, he immediately organized experts to conduct a risk assessment of the sale of the technology and made phone calls with several good shareholders.
However, the sale of technology is difficult to measure, and before the risk assessment came out, several shareholders stood up and made it clear that they were against it, saying that all the patented technology of the WS-140 engine must be in the hands of their group to truly ensure that the technology will not leak out.
Xiao Yang quickly learned about such a reaction, but he didn't get angry or take any action, because he knew that it was normal to have objections.
However, as time passed, the opposition became louder and louder, and Doyle felt a little strange in the face of him who was still calm.
"Xiao Yang, aren't you worried?"
Faced with Doyle's question, Xiao Yang just smiled faintly, and then asked rhetorically: "Do you think those people will change their minds if I'm worried?" ”
“……”
Doyle was speechless for a moment.
"I'll ask you a question." Xiao Yang didn't care about his reaction, and asked again, "I think the preliminary assessment results have come out, you tell the truth, will the transfer of this technology cause the overall technology of the WS-140 to be lost?" ”
Under his faint smile, Doyle quickly told the truth: "It won't be more than ten percent." ”
"Huh...... I know, whether it can be done or not depends on the attitude of some people. Xiao Yang immediately laughed.
